### Noun

猩猩
* An unspecified kind of ape; generally assumed to be gibbons or orangutans, since they are the only ones geographically possible. (Classifier: 隻／只)
    From: The Book of Rites, c. 4th – 2nd century BCE
    Xīngxīng néng yán, bùlí qínshòu. [Pinyin]
    Even when an orangutan speaks, it still is a beast. [i.e. In order to be a civil human, one must do more than talking like one, but must act like one.]
    From: 9th cent., Li Zhao (李肇), Supplement to the Book of Tang (唐國史補)
    Xīngxīng zhě hàojiǔ yǔ jī, rén yǒu qǔ zhī zhě, zhì èr wù yǐ yòu zhī, xīngxīng shǐ jiàn, bì dà mà yuē: “Yòu wǒ yě!” Nǎi juézǒu yuǎnqù, jiǔ ér fù lái, shāoshāo xiàngquàn, éqǐng jù zuì, qí zú jiē bàn yú jī, yīn suì huò zhī. [Pinyin]
    The xingxing is a creature fond of alcohol and wooden shoes. Those who wish to capture them would set up these two objects to entice them. When xingxing see them, they would yell out, "You dare trap me?!" They could leave the area but would eventually return. After some encouragement among themselves, they would start drinking and become drunk, starting to put the shoes on, hence getting captured.
